An orchestra seat in the web space

Although it seems I was fishing for compliments, the truth is that re:opera needed revampment. It still does; that is why I have opted for a soft opening. It has a new name, a new address, it has lost weight and is supposed to be user-friendlier, but it wasn’t born ready. In order to mark its return to life, I have published the revised discography of Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito.

I am working on the revision of the discography of Handel’s Giulio Cesare. I am still learning how to deal with it – so things will be chaotic for a while. I ask for your understanding therefore.

Reviews of William Christie’s new DVD of Handel’s Semele with Cecilia Bartoli and of Ottavio Dantone’s DVD of Mozart’s Ascanio in Alba have been added to the discographies in re: opera, which you can find in the link on your right.

Although I don’t have a thousand lives to consecrate to Handel, I could spare two or three nights to complete the review of Alan Curtis’s video of Handel’s Ariodante from Spoleto. You can check it on re: opera. More Handel operas will follow – so check back in a few days.
